The Monthly Weather Review - Australia is produced by the Bureau of Meteorology to provide a concise but informativeoverview of the temperatures, rainfall and significant weather events in Australia for the month.To keep the Monthly Weather Review as timely as possible, much of the information is based on electronic reports. Althoughevery effort is made to ensure the accuracy of these reports, the results can be considered only preliminary until completequality control procedures have been carried out. Any major discrepancies will be noted in later issues.We are keen to ensure that the Monthly Weather Review is appropriate to its readers' needs. If you have any comments orsuggestions, please contact us:

Units of measurementExcept where noted, temperature is given in degrees Celsius (°C), rainfall in millimetres (mm), and wind speed in kilometresper hour (km/h).

Observation times and periodsEach station in Australia makes its main observation for the day at 9 am local time. At this time, the precipitation over the past24 hours is determined, and maximum and minimum thermometers are also read and reset. In this publication, the followingconventions are used for assigning dates to the observations made:Maximum temperatures are for the 24 hours from 9 am on the date mentioned. They normally occur in the afternoon of thatday.Minimum temperatures are for the 24 hours to 9 am on the date mentioned. They normally occur in the early morning of thatday.Mean temperatures are the average of the daily maximum and daily minimum temperatures.Daily rainfall is for the 24 hours to 9 am on the date mentioned. This means a significant fraction of the rain may haveoccurred on the previous calendar day.Monthly rainfall is for the period from 9 am on the last day of the previous month to 9 am on the last day of this month.Maximum daily wind gusts are in the 24 hours from midnight to midnight.

Climatological valuesThe climatological averages shown in the text and tables are generally long-term means based on observations from the years1961–1990. They are not shown for sites with less than 25 years of record in that time, as they cannot then be calculatedreliably. Climatological extremes are generally taken from all available years of record; the number of years can vary markedlyfrom site to site.

RecordsThe tables of records are not exhaustive, as they only show sites with at least 30 years of record. This may exclude locationswhere a new site has been established; this means even some major cities and towns may not be listed.

MapsThe temperature and rainfall maps are intended to give an overview of the country. There could be discrepancies between thevalues shown on these maps and those at individual locations, as a result of the way the maps are generated. A wide range ofmaps of rainfall, temperature and other variables, covering the whole country and smaller regions can be found atwww.bom.gov.au/climate/maps.

Accessing dataTables of daily values for selected sites are included toward the back of the Monthly Weather Review. Data from many moresites and for other times are available from www.bom.gov.au/climate/data/.

Significant weather

Queensland

Tropical cyclones

Tropical cyclone Lucas formed in the Coral Sea andwas a category 2 system early on 1 February. Thesystem moved east-south-east passed north ofVanuatu and made landfall in New Caledonia on the2nd. The system remained far enough offshore tohave minimal impact on the Queensland coastbesides generating some moderate easterly swell anddangerous surf conditions. On the Gold Coast, therewere 3 drownings in 36 hours, with a coupledrowning on the 5th, and a man on the 6th.

Western Australia

Fires

An ignition in the Perth Hills suburb of Woorolooaround midday on 1 February became an out ofcontrol bushfire due to persistent easterly winds,threatening homes in the shire of Mundaring and theCity of Swans. The fire burnt over 10 000 hectares ofland with 98 homes and more than 100 other

structures destroyed or damaged. Rainfall associatedwith a slow-moving tropical low moving down thesouth-west coast assisted in extinguishing the fireson the 7th.

Tropical lows

A tropical low (12U) tracked south-west through theinland Kimberly, Pilbara, and northern Gascoyne in lateJanuary and the start of February, then offshore nearCarnarvon on the 5th before tracking southward alongthe west coast and south-west of Western Australiauntil the 8th. The low brought significant rainfall to thestate's north and west, and caused extensive floodingand damage in the north-west. One of the hardest hitareas was in and around Carnarvon in the Gascoyne.

ACT

Severe thunderstorms

A severe storm hit Canberra on Monday 1 February,resulting in 112 calls for assistance to the ACT StateEmergency Service (SES).

Synoptic summary

On 1 February a tropical low, which had previouslytracked through the Kimberley, was located inlandnear the Pilbara coast in Western Australia,embedded on a surface trough. The surface troughextended along the north-west of Western Australia,across the Top End of the Northern Territory and theCape York Peninsula. This trough connected totropical cyclone Lucas in the central Coral Sea, andthe eastern end of the Australian Tropical CycloneRegion, while a surface trough developed near thewest coast.

Another surface trough stretched from north-west tosouth-east Queensland. The tropical low movedslowly south-west through the Pilbara and northernGascoyne before moving to waters west of Carnarvonon the 5th, with a surface trough extending north-west into the Indian Ocean and another troughextending east through the south of the NorthernTerritory, south-west Queensland, and south-eastAustralia.

In the north, a tropical low formed in the western Gulfof Carpentaria and connected to a trough extendingacross the Cape York Peninsula. A cold front andassociated low pressure system moved acrossVictoria and Tasmania.

From the 6th to the 8th, the tropical low off theGascoyne coast moved south along the west coast

then south-west of Western Australia. A large highpressure system moved into the Australian Bight.

In the meantime, the tropical low in the western Gulfmoved south-west through the Carpentaria District tothe Gregory District in the Northern Territory. A troughextended through inland Western Australia to the low,then across the Cape York Peninsula to the Coral Sea,while an inland trough extended across Queenslandand eastern New South Wales.

On the 11th, the tropical low in the eastern NorthernTerritory weakened and moved to the north-west ofWestern Australia. A trough and associated cloudbandextended from the low though central WesternAustralia and western South Australia, ahead of a coldfront in the eastern Great Australian Bightapproaching the south-east of Australia.

By the 14th, the trough moved across Australia andthe southern Northern Territory, New South Walesand southern Queensland, while the cold fronttracked across Victoria and Tasmania. A high pressuresystem moved to the south-east of Tasmania on the15th and remained near-stationary for a few days.

In the north, an extensive cloudband developed alonga trough stretching across the country's north andeast coast, while a Tasman low pressure systemformed off the north coast of New South Wales onthe 20th.

Page 7: Monthly Weather Review Australia February 2021

As the Tasman low moved south and south-eastfurther away from the coast, a weak tropical lowdeveloped in the western Top End in the northernTerritory and moved west to the Timor Sea to thenorth of Kimberley on the 22nd. In the meantime, anumber of weak cold fronts passed Tasmania, beforea high pressure system moved across the south ofWestern Australia to the Australia Bight. In the lastweek of February, the tropical low off the north-westWestern Australia coast continued its westward track

and developed into tropical cyclone Marian in theIndian Ocean on the 26th.

A tropical low formed off the north tropical coast ofQueensland and moved slowly south, embedded in atrough extending from the far north of Australia to theCoral Sea. A weak low pressure system was locatedin central Western Australia, with a trough extendinginto western South Australia. A trough extended fromcentral parts of the Northern Territory and thoughwestern Queensland on the last day of February.

Anomalies of mean daily maximumtemperature in February 2021

Decile rank of mean daily maximumtemperature in February 2021

The mean maximum temperature for February waswarmer than average for most of the southern half ofQueensland, stretching along the coast south fromMackay, in a narrow band through the inland souththen covering much of the Channel Country.

At the start of the month, warmer than usual dailymaximum temperatures were recorded alongWestern Australia's west coast, and also in south-west Queensland.

Maximum temperatures climbed above 42 °C in theGascoyne in Western Australia, and parts of theCentral West and Channel Country districts inQueensland. Cooler than normal daytimetemperatures started to emerge from inland north-west Western Australia and expanded to the westand south of that state, then South Australia and thesouth of the Northern Territory until the 5th.

Very cool days with maximum temperatures below20 °C were experienced in the south-west of WesternAustralia on the 6th and 7th, and maximumtemperatures in the low to mid−20s in the centralNorthern Territory on the 8th, including a number oflow maximum temperature records.

Very hot temperatures in the high 30s to low 40swere recorded in South Australia from the 9th andexpanded to south-west Queensland, western NewSouth Wales, and Victoria between the 10th and 11th.A band of cool anomalies were observed in the north-west of South Australia and the adjacent interior onthe 12th and 13th.

Heatwave conditions started in the south-west ofWestern Australia on the 15th and extended acrossthe country's southern coastlines between the 16thand 18th. The heat then moved to the country'ssouth-east on the 19th and 20th. In contrast, rain andcloudy conditions saw a few very cool days in theCarpentaria District and northern parts of Queensland.

Heatwave conditions were observed across much ofthe southern two-thirds of Queensland from the 21stand intensified in the state's south-east over the nexttwo days. Bundaberg Aero in the Wide Bay arearecorded its all-time highest temperature on recordwith 38.5 °C on the 22nd.

Daytime temperatures were mostly within 4 °C of thelong-term average across most of the countrytowards the end of February.

Minimum temperatures

The February mean minimum temperature was aboveaverage for most of Queensland, the east and northof the Northern Territory, parts of the northernKimberley, and pockets of the northern coast ofWestern Australia.

Anomalies of mean daily minimumtemperature in February 2021

Decile rank of mean daily minimumtemperature in February 2021

Mean minimum temperatures were below averagefor areas of western, interior, and south-easternWestern Australia, much of South Australia awayfrom the west and the coast, adjacent parts of north-west Victoria and south-west New South Wales, and

an area of eastern New South Wales inland of theranges.

The month started with a warm night in CentralAustralia, south-west Queensland, and north-westNew South Wales. Overnight temperatures up to 8 °Ccooler than normal were observed in southernWestern Australia and South Australia on the 5th.

Heatwave conditions were recorded in the south-eastof Western Australia and the western half of SouthAustralia on the 10th, then moved eastwards towestern New South Wales and areas of surroundingstates by the 12th, becoming confined to southernQueensland on the 14th.

A second heatwave immediately followed, starting insouthern Western Australia from the 16th. Theheatwave expanded north to the southern NorthernTerritory, and east to South Australia, western Victoriaand Tasmania. However, cool anomalies more than10 °C below average were recorded in southernSouth Australia on the 19th.

Warm overnight temperature anomalies were mostlyconfined to the south-west of Queensland by the22nd. Clear nights and light winds resulted in somevery cold nights across southern Australia and theNorthern Territory from the 23rd onwards, with sub-zero temperatures recorded in elevated locations.Mortlake Racecourse in south-west Victoria had itslowest February temperature on record; 2.5 °C on the23rd.

Rainfall

The February rainfall was above average for Australiaas a whole.

Total rainfall in February 2021

Decile rank of total rainfall in February 2021

Rainfall for the month was above average for WesternAustralia except the Kimberley, the Top End of theNorthern Territory, much of New South Wales exceptthe south-east coast and the west, north-easternVictoria, and much of Tasmania.

Rainfall for the month was below average for parts ofQueensland's east coast south of Townsville, much ofwestern News South Wales and western Victoria, andparts of the Kimberley coast in Western Australia.

At the start of February, a tropical low travelled fromthe Kimberley down to the Pilbara and northernGascoyne, while a trough and associated cloudbandmoved across south-east Australia. Moderate rainfallwas recorded in the north-west of Western Australia,much of New South Wales apart from the north-eastand west, and in the north-east of Victoria.

Lower Boro (Calderwood) in the Southern Tablelandsin New South Wales had its wettest February day onthe 2nd, with 110 years of rainfall records.

A cold front moved across the country's south-eastwith an associated low pressure system tracking thesouthern coastlines and Tasmania between the 4thand 6th.

A monsoon trough extended across the Gulf ofCarpentaria and Cape York Peninsula, and a tropicallow formed in the west of the Gulf then movedacross the Carpentaria District in the NorthernTerritory. The tropical low in the Pilbara continued itssouth-west track through the northern Gascoyne tothe west of Carnarvon, before moving down along thewest coast and the south-west of Western Australiaby the 8th.

The west and south-west of Western Australiaexperienced unseasonal rainfall, and areas aroundCarnarvon recorded daily rainfall totals of 100 mm to150 mm. Many locations in Western Australia hadtheir highest February daily rainfall on record.

For much of the country's south-east, the 6th was byfar the wettest, with daily rainfall totals of 50 mm to130 mm recorded, and many February daily rainfallrecords were set. The monsoon and the tropical lowalso brought moderate to locally heavier falls to thenorthern half of the Northern Territory, and north-westQueensland.

Rain was mostly confined in the tropics on the 9thand 10th, as the tropical low continued its south-westtrack through central parts of the Northern Territory toinland northern Western Australia, with a troughextended into northern Queensland.

On the 10th, an extensive trough connected to thelow over inland north-west Western Australia, andtracked across that state's south-east, SouthAustralia, southern parts of the Northern Territory, thecountry's south-east regions and southernQueensland. The trough tracked ahead of a cold frontthat crossed over the far south-east of Australia bythe 14th.

Widespread thunderstorms and showers werereported along the paths of those systems. A broadtrough across northern Australia and down the westof Western Australia on the 15th producedthunderstorms and showers, while onshore windsproduced showers along the coast of New SouthWales.

By the 18th, an extensive cloudband developed alonga trough stretching across the Australian north andeast coasts. A Tasman low pressure system laterformed off the north-east coast of New South Waleson the 20th before moving south towards NewZealand. A weak tropical low developed in thewestern Top End in the Northern Territory and movedwest over the Timor Sea, then to the north of theKimberley before moving west further away from thenorth-west Australian coast. Showers persisted in

coastal north-east New South Wales, and thenorthern tropics.

In the last week of February a surface troughextended from the Gulf Country in Queensland toinland New South Wales, and moved slowly east.Thunderstorms and showers produced moderate fallsover southern inland Queensland and northern NewSouth Wales. Nana Glen (Cowling close) in the MidNorth Coast District recorded a daily rainfall total of310 mm on the 25th, which is its all-time record. Acold front moved across Tasmania and southernVictoria, and brought moderate rainfall to westernTasmania.

A tropical low developed off the north tropical coast ofQueensland on the 25th, with a trough extending tothe Gulf of Carpentaria. Moderate rainfall wasrecorded in the Queensland's north tropical coast andthe Cape York Peninsula. Many locations in the westGascoyne and western parts of the South West LandDivision in Western Australia recorded their wettestFebruary on record, or wettest February for at least 30years. Carnarvon Airport's rainfall total was nearly 10times its February average. Several locations innorthern Tasmania had their wettest February in morethan 50 years.
